Garages Are More Than Storage
Designing a garage is a complex architectural puzzle that extends far beyond simple vehicle storage. In the Richmond area, a successful garage project requires precise site planning to navigate zoning setbacks, fire separation requirements, and structural load distribution.
Whether you are planning a detached workshop in Midlothian or an attached addition in the Near West End, every detail from foundation design to living space egress impacts the functionality and code compliance of your property.
At Slate Drafting, we transform your concept into permit-ready drawing sets that coordinate these technical variables—ensuring your project meets the strict standards of Henrico, Chesterfield, and Richmond building departments.
Garage Types We Draw
Detached Garages
Custom designs for one, two, or three-car structures with attic storage and rear alley access. We navigate setbacks and lot coverage limits to optimize your site layout.
Attached Garages
New additions and carport-to-garage projects. We focus on structural roof and foundation tie-ins, fire separation, and matching your existing home's curb appeal.
Garage ADUs & Suites
Permit-ready plans for living spaces above garages, guest apartments, and rental units. Specialized coordination for fire separation, plumbing, and HVAC requirements.
Bonus Rooms & Lofts
Unfinished storage lofts or hobby rooms over new garage builds. We include framing notes and engineered truss configurations for your permit set.
Workshops & Specialty
High ceilings for car lifts, specialty tool workshops, RV storage, and tandem or side-load door configurations for unique site constraints.
Additions & Expansions
Expanding existing one-car garages to multi-bay structures. We handle the technical drawings for matching siding, trim, and roof pitches for a seamless match.
